T-FLEX Parametric CAD. Fundamentals. 2D Design

• By the command “N: Construct Node”, specifically designed for creating nodes.
Nodes
• By the option in the commands “L: Construct Line” and “C: Construct Circle”. In
these commands, you can move the cursor over an intersection point of construction entities and press
.
• In the command “G: Create Graphic Line” when creating a graphic line.
• In the command “H: Create Hatch” when creating a hatch.
• In the command “FR: Create Fragment”. As you add a drawing as a fragment into the current
drawing, you can automatically create nodes from fragment in the drawing.
The last three techniques are described in the chapters that follow. In this chapter we will review in details
the command “N: Construct Node”.
Keyboard Textual Menu Icon
“Construct|Node”
Upon calling the command, the following options become available in the automenu:
/ Free mode on/off toggle
Set Node parameters
Select Line on which to create Node
Select Circle on which to create Node
Select Ellipse to create Node
Select Spline to create Node
Select Node for relative Node creation
Select Fragment to create Node
Select Fragment from list
Select 2D Projection
Execute Edit Node command
Exit command
The option / allows selecting the drawing mode - “free” or
“constrained”. The current mode is indicated by the kind of the
option icon displayed in the automenu.
The option , called prior to node creation, opens a dialog box for
defining the system-wide parameters, such as layer, level, color for
new nodes. The same dialog allows to define position of various
types of nodes being created.
